It's kind of dumb, because politicians don't really matter aside from their policy.
I guess that means that most of the attack ads probably had some impact and that US voters are against this guy, but can't remember why?
I swear sometimes it feels were in an disinformation dark ages. Like dehydrating on a boat in the ocean.
Lack of credible news sources. It's all entertainment now. Those in power are afraid of a well-informed electorate. However, as Americans, it's our duty to cut through the bs
yeah but fooooooooooooootbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!!!!!! woooooooooooooooooooooooo
Policies mesn nothing without trust
What is the problem they have with Zo... nevermind...
he's not a white moron. That explains a lot.
The poll says 46% of Republicans and 42% of Democrats outside of New York don't have an opinion on a guy running to be Mayor of New York.
Clickbaitey article headline implies not having an opinion on a politician running for mayor in another city means the same as being unfavorable towards that politician. Yes he has a low favorable number but a massive "no opinion" number because should people give a shit about a politician in another city?
New Yorkers may like to to think they're the center of the world, but shockingly over 40% of people outside of New York probably don't know who this guy is because why should they?
Really. I've read quite a bit about him, and I've never even been in North America.
But I also try to stay informed, and our news are infested with US culture war bullshit.
Well you're in a politics community on lemmy, so you're going to hear about all of the leftist populists constantly. But I don't think lemmy is an extremely popular web forum.
Don’t need to be a certain color or gender to get the job done correctly to help the people.
This survey seems to suggest otherwise.
Many, including myself, see Trumps wins as backlash by legacy European settler descendants for to a part African man serving two terms as president.
Abstract policies are a notoriously poor way of polling for voting patterns.
But it seems most people don't have a strong opinion on our New York boy, which is honestly the best we could ask for at this junction. May ~~Zohran the DESTROYER'S enemies be DESTROYED~~ Mamdani succeed and, for our sakes if not necessarily his, go on to national politics after. Gods know we need him.
The weird part is it shouldn't be, it shows how enthralled every is by the sports team 'us and them' dynamic that they'd rather vote for policies they hate than for someone not on their team.
I think it speaks more to how shallow policy questions tend to be.
The ghouls, sewer-dwelling demons, and subterranean goblins are all assembling their forces to defeat Mamdani.
I mean haven't the likes of Chomsky and Cenk been pointing this out for decades? When polling Americans on the issues, they tend to be progressive?
That's in spite of a helluva lot of propaganda that is nonstop, 24/7, in favor of corporations, by the way...
Yes this has been a known fact for like 30 years. But somehow it feels like no one internalised it so I keep sharing examples.
Please do continue. The usual trope that "most people are cons" is common currency, nearly everywhere, even though it's false.
Yeah, thing is Democrats are on the same side of the class war as Republicans.
Just say that he wants the Epstein files released.
Could it be a blueprint for Democrats elsewhere?
Democrats elsewhere: "For messaging right? A blueprint for our messaging? Right?"
